From Chief to Ball

Below the city, more than 200 warriors carried nine ladders and wore leather shields, passed the archers who were shooting randomly, and rushed towards the city wall shouting.

Hammer secretly cursed the old leader, this time more than 200 people did rush at the same time, but he was assigned to the northwest corner of the city wall, and there were six ladders in the middle, and there were only two on his side, which was assigned to the northwest corner There are only more than 40 people.

He hasn't even seen the face of the enemy yet, and more than 100 people have fallen on his side. Although not many died, this is the first time he has seen this kind of battle, and he can't figure out how the people in the city guessed Where is the most densely populated place of the tribe.

With the leather shield on his right hand and the ladder in his left hand, he had only one thought in his mind: "Get close to the city wall, even if you die close to the city wall, it's better than dying without knowing where the enemy is."

His strong thighs stepped on the dry land in early winter, and his heart was pounding. This was not the first time he was on the battlefield, and he even forgot when was the last time his heart beat so hard.

Toby, who was carrying the ladder next to him, kept chanting the magic formula chanted by the witch priest, holding the horsehair amulet in his mouth, and chanting words.

"Worship the spirit of war. There is a white stone on the sacred mountain, which looks like the mount of the spirit of war. There is spring water on the mountain. The water cannot flow into the stone, and arrows cannot shoot into me, the servant of the spirit of war. , and can’t shoot into my companion or my horse. It’s like the water in a river, no matter how much water there is, it can only slide over the stones, the arrow is like water, and I am like a stone..."

"The sun is the vehicle of the spirit of war. It will never go out, so that I, who believe in the spirit of war, will also live forever. The sacrificial hall on the mountain is in a cave and sealed with stones. Anyone who tries to destroy the temple cannot see it." The altar. The eagle cannot stretch out its claws if it cannot see the rabbit, and the wolf cannot show its fangs unless it sees the wild sheep. I serve the altar of the spirit of war, and those who cannot see the altar cannot kill me..."

This is an ancient spell from the time of war and land conflict a long time ago. Hammer could never learn it, but he never shot himself with an arrow, and he didn't bother to learn it over time.

But today, listening to the chanting of his companions, he couldn't help but start chanting, panting heavily while running, but the chanting became louder and louder, and finally turned into shouts and wolf howls.

With howling, they jumped over the pile of vertical logs, and finally got close to the city wall, put the ladder head two or three steps away from the city wall, and ran to the middle of the ladder.

"Put it up!"

"They won't be able to beat us when we go to the city! Let's go in."

"You guys raise your shields to block the arrows they shoot, and climb up quickly!"

The two strongest men dropped their leather shields, grabbed the middle of the ladder, and shouted loudly, the veins on their necks popping out.

"what!"

With a desperate cry, the three of them finally lifted the ladder with their arms and pushed it up quickly. The clansmen around them held up their leather shields to block the feathered arrows flying from the city.

Hammer yelled to his companions: "Stand up and climb up! They won't be able to shoot arrows when they climb up. We have iron swords and spears. Don't be afraid of them! Toby, Toby! What are you doing? Are you still chanting the protective spell when it's time? Come on!"

Someone in the city stretched out his hand and wanted to push the ladder down. Hamer and his two strongest partners resisted the ladder desperately.

The archers behind them shot another round of arrows, and some of the people above were hit by the arrows, and their energy to push the ladder suddenly became much weaker.

Toby spat out the amulet, hung the iron ax around his waist, held up the shield and was the first to step onto the ladder, still chanting the curse of avoiding arrows, he wanted to pick up the ax and chop when he was about to step on the city wall .

On the city, Shi Shan looked at the ladder more than ten steps away, took out his step bow, got up immediately after shooting a round of feather arrows on the opposite side, and aimed at Toby who had already climbed halfway from the side. Easily hit him in the side.

As soon as he got up, three or four feathered arrows fell from his side, blocked by his partner with a shield, he also let go of his fingers and sent the feathered arrows to the ribs of the person he had never met.

"Arrows are like water, I am like a stone..."

This was Toby's last voice. Unfortunately, Feather Arrow is not water, nor is he a stone. He rolled down the ladder without a sound.

Hamer watched Toby being shot down, and realized that the position he had chosen was too bad. The corner of the city protruding like a pregnant woman's belly just hit their side, but at this time, he could not change it, he could only force it. Continuing to let the clansmen climb up.

The stone mountain shot down Toby, and the two people near the ladder were also shot down by the flying feather arrows and fell off the city wall. He rushed to the vicinity of the ladder with six people, and the two men lifted a big stone that had been prepared and pushed it down. .

boom!

More than 200 kilograms of stones directly smashed the person on the ladder down, pressing on the stomach.

Hammer kicked away the blood spattered on his feet, turned around and glanced at the clansmen who were still shooting wildly in the distance, and couldn't help cursing: "Can't you take a few steps forward? The old leader is sitting at the back, how can he know how to attack?" City? What kind of broken place did you choose?"

After cursing twice, leaning back against the ladder, he snatched the bow and arrow from the bow-backed partner, and aimed an arrow at a person who was about to throw a stone down.

The distance was too tight, the strings sounded and people fell, but the stone still fell down and broke another person's leg.

"Those with bows on their backs shoot up, don't let them show their heads!"

"It's so close, even a child who has just been breastfeeding can shoot them. Shoot them, the more you are afraid of death, the easier it is to die."

Shouting loudly, several clansmen around them reacted, drew out their bows and arrows and shot again. After all, it was the first time they were facing a siege situation, and they didn't know how to cooperate at all.

"Quick! Charge again, this time they can't throw stones!"

Hamer held up his bow, pointed at the position of the stairs on the city, pulled the bow continuously, and shot another person in the city.

Shishan on the city squatted on the city wall, hearing the sound of pong with feathered arrows flying wildly, and beside him were two clansmen who were shot to death, and the feathered arrows outside the city became more and more dense.

"The man below is a good shooter. If he is in Xiacheng, he will definitely become a new army shooter. His shots are accurate and fast. He must be killed."

"Don't look up yet!"

"No, Stone Mountain, they are climbing up."

The ladder creaked, and another group of people ran over from the right, readying their spears and ready for hand-to-hand combat.Shi Shan looked at those who were about to get up and shouted: "Squat down! Throw lime!"

He grabbed a cloth bag from a wicker basket that had been prepared nearby, and threw it over the city wall.

There is a rope tied with a slipknot on the bag, a bit like a sling, and when the rope is straightened, the lime will spill out and the bag can be retracted.

After a few slaps, six or seven bags of lime were thrown outside the city, and then a howl of pain was heard. It felt like Shi Shan hadn't tried the lime in his eyes, but hearing the sound, he knew that the effect was extraordinary.

Guessing that the archers under the city must have lost their eyes at this time, Shi Shan shouted loudly, raised his step bow and aimed at the people below, looking for the good player who shot two of his clansman to death in a row.

Hamer, who was below the city, shot an arrow towards the northwest corner when he was throwing lime on the city.

Because it was cold, and the cold wind from the northwest was blowing, although some of the lime fell on the top of his head, but it was blown a lot by the wind, and it never fell into his eyes.

Hearing the sound of falling weapons around him, and seeing his companion crying while covering his eyes, he didn't have time to think about what it was. The instinct brought about by fighting on the grassland for many years made him take a step back, hooked his fingers on the feather arrow, and turned around. In an instant, he aimed at the person in the city who was raising his bow to aim.

The two feathered arrows crossed in the air, but they missed each other.

Of the more than 40 people who followed Hammer to attack the city, there were only six or seven people left who could still fight, and the rest either died or rubbed their eyes frantically, screaming incessantly.

The most densely populated place in the east is similar to Hamer's here, and the urn protruding from the city gate can also attack the side of those people. Because of the large number of people, more people were killed by the pushed down wood and stones.

These people are all warriors on the prairie. During the sacrifice, everyone is a good player, archery, wrestling, wrestling, horseback riding... Hammer said that he is not afraid of people in the city one-on-one. There is no chance.

Hamer looked at the few people left around him, held up shields and gathered together, shouting: "Let's go back, this can't work, this battle can't be fought like this!"

"Dawu hasn't played the drum yet, we'll be punished if we go back."

"Look, those people in the east have run away."

Just as those people in the east were fleeing frantically, Dawu's drum finally sounded. Hamer took off his shirt and shouted at those comrades who had lime in their eyes: "Grab my clothes!"

Those people staggered and ran backwards, leaving behind the corpses of their companions, and there was no way to take them back. Fortunately, the clansmen in the distance continued to shoot arrows into the city and suppressed the people in the city. Now they finally have some appearance. .

Several surviving and seriously injured people cried out: "Take me back! Brothers, help me... Take me back!"

The fleeing people didn't care about these cries at all, they just wanted to stay away from the city wall. There were not many people in the city, and many people were only one step away from the city wall, but they still couldn't take this last step.
